Table_3_Mobile-based ecological momentary assessment and intervention: bibliometric analysis.xlsx

ObjectiveThe aim of this article was to review existing documents in the field of mobile-based EMA and EMI, provide an overview of current hot topics, and predict future development trends.
MethodsWe conducted a bibliometric study on mobile-based EMA and EMI publications that were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Biblioshiny and CiteSpace were utilized to analyze scientific productions, leading sources, authors, affiliations, documents, research hot topics, keywords, and trend topics.
ResultsA total of 2222 documents related to EMA and EMI published between 1992 and 2023 were retrieved. In recent years, scholarly publications have generally increased in mobile-based EMA and EMI research, particularly in the last decade. JMIR mHealth and uHealth (n=86), as well as JMIR (n=73), showed the highest number of publications. The United States (n=1038), Germany (n=218) and Netherlands (n=175) were leading countries. Regarding keyword co-occurrence and trend topics analysis, mental health, health behaviors, and feasibility were hot topics in mobile-based EMA and EMI research. Future research trends included using EMA for tailoring EMI, just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAI), and digital phenotyping.
ConclusionThis bibliometric study on mobile-based EMA and EMI is a valuable resource for understanding the field’s evolution and future trends. Our analysis indicates that EMA and EMI have great potential in health behaviors and mental health, but implementation should consider feasibility and reactivity issues carefully. Emerging trends include EMA-tailored EMI, JITAI, and digital phenotyping. In the future, strengthening multidisciplinary cooperation will be necessary to promote the continued development of the field.

研究目的 本文旨在梳理基于移动设备的生态瞬时评估（EMA）与生态瞬时干预（EMI）领域现有文献，概述当前研究热点，并预测未来发展趋势。
研究方法 本研究针对从Web of Science核心合集数据库中检索到的基于移动设备的EMA与EMI相关文献开展文献计量学分析。本研究采用Biblioshiny与CiteSpace工具对科研产出、核心来源期刊、作者、研究机构、文献、研究热点、关键词以及趋势主题进行分析。
研究结果 本研究共检索得到1992年至2023年间发表的2222篇EMA与EMI相关文献。近年来，基于移动设备的EMA与EMI研究领域的学术文献总量整体呈增长态势，近十年尤为显著。其中，《JMIR mHealth and uHealth》（发文量86篇）与《JMIR》（发文量73篇）为发文量最高的期刊。美国（1038篇）、德国（218篇）与荷兰（175篇）为该领域的核心研究国家。通过关键词共现与趋势主题分析可知，心理健康、健康行为与可行性是当前基于移动设备的EMA与EMI研究的热点主题。未来研究趋势包括利用EMA定制EMI、即时自适应干预（Just-In-Time Adaptive Interventions, JITAI）以及数字表型分析。
研究结论 本项针对基于移动设备的EMA与EMI的文献计量学研究，可为理解该领域的发展演进与未来趋势提供重要参考依据。本研究分析表明，EMA与EMI在健康行为与心理健康领域具备巨大应用潜力，但在实际落地过程中需充分考量可行性与反应性问题。当前新兴研究趋势包括基于EMA定制的EMI、即时自适应干预（JITAI）以及数字表型分析。未来，加强多学科合作将是推动该领域持续发展的必要路径。
